Composite decking has become the go-to choice for homeowners who want the beauty of wood without the endless maintenance, warping, splintering, or annual staining. But one question always comes up first: “How much does composite decking actually cost?”
The short answer? Material prices typically range from about $2.30 to $10.00 per linear foot (lf), depending on the brand, collection, and features. That works out to roughly $5 to $22 per square foot for the decking boards themselves (based on standard 5.5-inch-wide boards).
When you factor in framing, fasteners, railings, and professional installation, a full composite deck project often lands between $40–$100+ per square foot installed. The good news? At Advantage Lumber, we keep our shopping cart pricing current and competitive, and we ship direct to make high-quality composite decking more affordable.
Here’s a clear, up-to-date breakdown of costs for the top brands we carry: Trex, TimberTech, Deckorators, and Lumberock.
What Affects the Price of Composite Decking?
Before we dive into brand-specific pricing, a few key factors influence your total:
- Brand and tier — Entry-level lines cost less; premium capped or PVC composites with advanced warranties cost more.
- Board width and length — Most are 5.5″ wide; longer boards (16–20 ft) reduce seams and labor.
- Color and finish — Earth tones and premium multi-toned colors often carry a premium price.
- Material type — Traditional wood-plastic composite vs. advanced capped composite or solid PVC.
- Project specifics — Deck size, shape, elevation, and whether you’re doing DIY or hiring a pro.
- Accessories — Hidden fasteners, fascia, risers, and railings add 20–40% to material costs.

Material vs. Total Project Cost
Don’t forget: the boards are only part of the story.
- Decking materials alone: 30–50% of total project cost
- Framing, fasteners, and substructure: Often the biggest expense
- Professional installation: $5–$15+ per square foot (or more in high-cost areas)
A typical 12×16 ft deck might run $8,000–$18,000+ installed, depending on the brand and complexity.
Pro Tips to Save Money on Your Composite Deck
- Choose a mid-tier collection (many homeowners find Enhance, Venture, or Terrain+ strike the perfect balance of price and performance).
- Buy longer boards to reduce seams and waste.
- Consider DIY installation if you’re handy.
- Bundle decking + fasteners + fascia from the same brand for better pricing and matching warranties.
- Check our shopping cart frequently — we update pricing in real time and occasionally run promotions.
